Question 1 of 5
When teaching a client about anti-retroviral therapy for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), the PN should emphasize:
Correct Answer: A
Rationale: HIV mutates very rapidly, and any interruption of therapy can allow viral resistance to emerge - even taking a dose late.
Choice B is incorrect because, when the virus is kept in check with anti-retrovirals, the client's own immune system is able to keep opportunistic infections at bay.
